客亦知夫(fú)水与月乎？逝者如斯，而未尝往也；盈虚者如彼，而卒（zú）莫消长(zhǎng)也。

Have you considered the water and the moon? Water flows away but is never lost; the moon waxes and wanes, but neither increases nor diminishes.

盖将自其变者而观之，则天地曾(céng)不能以一瞬；自其不变者而观之，则物与我皆无尽也，而又何羡乎！

If you look at its changing aspect, the universe passes in the twinkling of an eye; but if you look at its changeless aspect, all creatures including ourselves are imperishable. What reason have you to envy other things?

且夫天地之间，物各有主，苟非吾之所有，虽一毫而莫取。

Besides, everything in this universe has its owner; and if it does not belong to me not a tiny speck can I take.

惟江上之清风，与山间之明月，耳得之而为声，目遇之而成色，取之无禁，用之不竭，是造物者之无尽藏(zàng)也，而吾与子之所共食（shì）。

The sole exceptions are the cool breeze on the river, the bright moon over the hills. These serve as music to our ears, as colour to our eyes; these we can take freely and enjoy forever; these are inexhaustible treasures supplied by the Creator, and things in which we can delight together.
